MARC/AL
Interface Utility V.4 (supports
Auto Librarian™ SE and Version 4.0) 
Product Fact Sheet
|
|
The
MARC/AL™ Interface Utility is a utility which allows Auto
Librarian™ Library Server SE and Ver. 4.0 users to read the
USMARC/MicroLIF records included with the purchase of books from
major book vendors such as Baker & Taylor, Brodart, Follett and
others, thus eliminating the need to input manually, newly purchased
books. This utility also enables users who have a union disk or MARC
records from Bibliofile or another source to upload their books into
AUTO LIBRARIAN™ Library Server Ver. 4.0 using the MARC
record. This is an import feature only. The utility does not export
AUTO LIBRARIAN™ book records into the MARC format. |
| FEATURES
Easy to Use Three Step Main Menu
AUTO LIBRARIAN™
MARC RECORD CONVERSION MENU
1. STEP 1 RECEIVE MARC RECORDS
2. STEP 2 VIEW CONVERTED MARC RECORDS
3. STEP 3 SEND MARC RECORDS TO AUTO LIBRARIAN
When using the MARC/AL Interface Utility the MARC
records are not altered in any way. They are read and then converted
into AUTO LIBRARIAN book records. The MARC record remains intact for
later use.
The user basically fills in the following into
input screens:
 | Drive, subdirectory and name of incoming file. |
| Drive, subdirectory and name of file to receive
converted records. |
| Whether or not to generate book numbers on the
fly. |
| Starting booknumber. |
| MARC field source for call number. |
| MARC subfield(s) source for call number. |
| MARC field source for Price. |
| MARC subfield source for Price. |
To receive the MARC records into Auto Librarian™ the user
simply begins with STEP 1 at the MAIN MENU and completes the
Conversion Input Form (above). Step 2 allows the user to view the
converted MARC records and edit them and Step 3 sends the converted
MARC records to AUTO LIBRARIAN™ . Duplicate booknumbers are
rejected. The MARC record information is brought into the new larger
book database fields as well as Publisher, Illustrator, Pages and
Cost fields. An onscreen Help window provides context sensitive help
as each input is completed by the user. The MARC/AL Interface
Utility is that easy to use!
